Dock Delay and other questions #20

Hi @steventheworker

Thanks for this app! It's something I have been wanting for a while, coming from Windows.

A few questions: 1 - I can't tell what the 'Dock Delay' at the bottom even does? It does not seem to change anything?

I can see the 'Enable Previews' delay delays how long before the 'Application Windows' shows up

2 - Once you have unticked the 'Add item to menu bar' checkbox, it seems impossible to get the Dock Expose preferences back unless you edit the configs using a terminal - or is there a simpler way I am missing?

3 - Small UI nitpick - but if you go to the 'Links' button, the 'Dock Delay' selector can still be seen (MacBook Air M1)

  1. It's the delay for how long it takes for the dock to reveal (if you have autohide on). The default is 0.5, so I'm not sure why there's a comma between 0 and 5 for you.

Setting it to 0 immediately reveals the dock. You can also set it to a really high number, to effectively disable the dock.

  1. This is fixed in a major upgrade (v3) I will release sometime this week.

  2. The update will lose some features such as the links menu. (might re-add as a popup window to avoid this though) ... as well as this delay slider image which I plan to add back by v3.01 a week or so later.

  1. Oh okay - I don't have autohide on - that's why it does not work. Also - adding '0.5' gives me this error - must be a region setting that I have Screenshot 2024-02-09 at 08 07 53

2., 3. Great!
